Golden Hawk head coach Chris Kern said tonight’s game is about doing the easy things right.

“We have to box out, rebound, we need to stay out of foul trouble and we need to get to the line against them and hit free throws when we get to the line, we need to keep turnovers down, get to the line and have a couple of guys step up and shoot the ball well,” Kern said.
